However, given the game’s insane popularity in India, the gamers were very disgruntled with this decision.

Here’s What Indian Gamers Expect From PUBG Mobile Indian Version

1. PUBG Mobile India will be completely different from the global version for the Indian player base. 

“The outlook for the game is good only. It’s just that whatever the competitions that were being held with the global version, won’t be there in the Indian version. There will be tournaments for the Indian version and then after that, they will collaborate with the global version in a similar fashion as the Korean version”, said Hemant Middha (an ex-team member of SouL with the gamer tag SouL Frost) in an interview with The Indian Express.

2. The setting from an actual island for battle royale is said to be changed to a “virtual simulation training ground”. To reduce the “video games cause violence” arguments, the PUBG Mobile Indian version will show the blood and hit effects in green color. Playtime restrictions will also be implemented to deal with game addiction. (Source: Mysmartprice)
